Samelin 517 Red Aviator Leather Boots – Unisex Handmade Combat-Grade Boots
🇪🇺 Handmade in Europe 🛡️ Military Grade
Samelin 517 Red Aviator boots aren’t for everyone—and that’s exactly the point. Bold, head-turning, and unapologetic, these unisex ankle boots combine combat-grade toughness with a striking red finish. Built for those who don’t blend in, they’re not fashion gimmicks but real military-grade boots designed for any terrain and any weather.
Handmade in Estonia by Samelin—the same NATO-certified factory behind the legendary M77 Norwegian combat boots—these Aviators are crafted from water-repellent full-grain leather with a natural leather-only lining. No fluff, no extra padding: just breathable, durable leather that adapts to you over time. For cold winters, pair them with warm socks, as there’s no additional insulation.
Samelin has a long history of supplying NATO armies across Europe and has manufactured boots for global brands like Dr. Martens and Rossignol. Every pair of Aviators reflects that expertise: rugged construction, superior materials, and lasting performance. While the black Aviators are the everyday go-to for Annamari, co-founder of whatshoes, these red ones are bolder, louder, and made for those who dare.
